It takes practice! The more you practice, the easier it is to get there...unless in severe pain. I try to go there when stressed...before the pain flares from the stress.

It's also good to attempt to do some kind of physical relaxation first, such as the progressive muscle relaxation (you can do a google search for that and find the instructions just about anywhere). It's really a great tool to getting the body to a place so that the mind can do what it needs to do.

Good luck! If you try, let us know?

I've practiced this for years and years (beginning in childhood). It's pretty easy for me to get there now when all is quiet. I never learned it anywhere. It first began as an escape for an abused child. Later, I find out that they actually "teach" people to do this.
